[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 383002, member: 265"] You didn't read what I said very carefully. It isn't that colleges and universities loot the budgets of athletic programs; they don't. Instead, they use interest in major sports to scout out donors for other programs. Major sports advertising is also used to identify corporate sponsors and donors for academic programs. All of this is the result of shortfalls in public funding. The amount that US colleges and universities spend on ancillary programs to attract students (dorms, sports, etc.) and to attract outside funding is twice that of our nearest OECD rival, the UK. It is approximately 4X what universities and colleges spend in continental Europe. There's a reason for that and it is what is driving the problems with major college sports. [/QUOTE]
